Procurement guidance and navigation tips.
Lower scores indicate easier procurement processes. Created by Starbridge.
Sole Source: If sale is less than $40,000, use sole source.
Coops: Ask to purchase via Sourcewell or Iowa DAS; confirm eligibility and piggyback to bypass formal bidding.
City of Ankeny (IA): Sole source is rarely used above the $40,000 competitive bidding threshold. Deprioritize this path and immediately pursue cooperative contracting options.
